    If this thread already exists apologies in advance. I am thinking about installing a cctv system with remote viewing. My concern is I live in the country and have internet access via three satellite as it was my only option because there was no recption for the usb stick device. will my internet connection be fast enough to view the images/ videos ?. I was on speedtest.net and these are the results I was getting. Ping 802ms, download speed 1.85mbps, upload speed 0.24mbps. Thanks

    A normal analogue system would manage on that.

    I was on to three to see if they could upgrade my dish, to increase my upload speed, and they told me the remote viewing will not work as you need a static IP address to log in. They said the IP address is constantly changing with the satellite system. Is there anyway around this?

    A lot of newer DVR handle this for you. If not you can use http://dyn.com/dns/ or similar.

    Fitted my cctv system last week. The tech support logged into my system today to set up the remote viewing. They said it wouldn't work as three's satellite is like a private network. They also said they tried the above. Is there any other options for the remote viewing
